Has Anyone Else Noticed How Many Times Athanasius Connects Purim to Passover While Referencing The Newly Introduced 'Fortieth Day' Lenten Fast?

I am driving right now but I want to stress it again. The early Alexandrians were NOT Protestants! They weren't 'figuring out' what the gospel meant. They had a tradition, the very mystery tradition established by the guy who wrote the ****ing original gospel. That's all.

They had the truth passed on by viva voce from the lips of St Mark himself. What was there to 'figure out'?

Well, if you look at history and the near constant assault against the Alexandrian tradition by the forces aligned with Rome, Clement, Origen and the rest of the Fathers only had to 'figure out' a way of expressing the original Markan tradition WITHOUT enraging Caesar and his Catholic minions.

That's it. That's what made Origen such a genius. That's why the rich Marcionite Ambrose put Origen on his payroll.

Wake up people. Irenaeus accused people with Clement's beliefs of being heretics. The same was true later of Origen.

Wake up people. Not only is it true that the good guys don't always win. The truth is that they ALWAYS lose.

Truth always falls to corruption.

That's why the Apostle said the world was evil.

Now you can go back to somehow 'figuring out' how to rescue the idea that the Holy Spirit established the same gospel in four chosen evangelists.
